Gin is one of the most popular spirits
in the world, but to be pigeonholed
into a "Designation of Origin", it must have
nebrina flavour (fruit of juniper).
The European Union legislation supports up to 4
drinks flavoured with this fruit. These
names are: "Alcoholic spirit
beverages with juniper", "Gin", "Distillate Gin"
and "London Gin".

Gin is an English distilled spirit derivative
from the beverage -Dutch Jenever (gin). These
spirits are made from the distillation of
unmalted barley, and corrected with juniper berries, besides of
being flavored with cardamom and some other herbs or fruits,
which give the distinctive flavor to gin. Gin has an alcohol
content ranging from 43 to 47 alcohol degrees.
